Rcifax 550 Tablet contains an active ingredient called rifaximin. Here's how it works:

• Rifaximin disrupts the bacterial cells' ability to synthesise proteins essential for their survival.
• By interfering with protein synthesis, rifaximin inhibits the growth of bacteria.
• Rifaximin also prevents the bacteria from reproducing and spreading.
• This helps reduce the symptoms of bacterial infections such as diarrhoea caused by E. coli bacteria and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea.
